The simplest way of finding a place to
eat
is to go to the place Nationale, where you'll find the
Agora
under the arcades at no. 9 (closed Sun evening & Mon), serving
plats
at around 45F/a?¬6.86, and the slightly smarter
Brasserie des Arts
at no. 4 (Oct-April lunch only). The
Bistrot du Faubourg
at 111 faubourg Lacapelle, east of the cathedral (closed Sat evening & Sun; menus from 66F/a?¬10.06), is a place popular with locals and offering excellent value for money;
L'Ambroisie
, 41 rue de la ComA©die, serves good regional menus (from 75F/a?¬11.43); and last but not least, the
Ventadour
, 23 quai Villebourbon (tel 05.63.63.34.58; closed Sun & Mon; menus 100-220F/a?¬15.24-33.54), magnificently sited in an old house on the west bank near the Pont Vieux, is the place to go for a splurge.
The most atmospheric place for a
drink
is
Le Flamand
at 8 rue de la RA©publique (Oct-April closed Sun), with a wide range of beers on tap, or you could try
Le Maracana
, the liveliest option on place Nationale, which hosts
live music
most Saturday nights. Another attractive option is
Le Santa Maria
, north of the MusA©e Ingres on quai Montmurat (Oct-April closed Sun), with a lovely terrace overlooking the Tarn; they also serve tapas and more substantial Tex-Mex meals. Other useful information
